Overview

This ABB K656BLRN is a 600 Amp, 15/25 KV elbow connector designed for reliable power distribution systems. It features a test point housing, providing a designated location for diagnostic testing without the need for a separate test point assembly. This configuration is specifically supplied without a stud, allowing for integration with existing stud configurations or specific application requirements. The K656BLRN is part of ABB's Installation Products line, known for its robust electrical components. Its primary function is to provide a safe and efficient termination point for high-voltage cables in underground or pad-mounted transformer applications. The 15/25 kV rating indicates its suitability for medium-voltage networks operating at these voltage levels. The inclusion of a test point housing simplifies maintenance procedures, enabling technicians to perform voltage checks and other diagnostic tests directly on the connector. This reduces downtime and enhances operational efficiency. The absence of a stud offers flexibility in installation, catering to systems where a specific stud type is already in place or preferred. Key specifications include:
  • 600 Amp current rating for robust power handling.
  • 15/25 KV voltage rating suitable for medium-voltage networks.
  • Includes test point housing for simplified diagnostic testing.
  • Supplied without a stud for flexible installation options.
  • ABB - Installation Products quality and reliability.
